Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 32 This is so ironic

"If I'm not mistaken, you are classmate Ning Chen, right?"

Hearing Tong Yicheng's words, Ning Chen was also a little surprised. He had never met Tong Yicheng before, but Tong Yicheng recognized him instantly.

The other students were also a little confused about the situation in front of them and looked at Ning Chen curiously.

"Yes, I am Ning Chen."

Because Tong Yicheng often helps teachers with students, he has had contact with many undergraduate students majoring in mathematics.

Tong Yicheng had never met Ning Chen before, but Ning Chen was the only student in this classroom that he didn't recognize well, so Tong Yicheng could make such a judgment.

"Ning Chen, I have finally met you in person. Your article "New Exact Solution to the Sine-Gordon Equation with Variable Coefficients" really impressed me very much. Teacher Yang has always asked me to learn more from you. Hey, if I had written that paper, I wouldn’t have to worry about not graduating.”

Speaking of which, when Tong Yicheng heard for the first time that a freshman majoring in materials published a mathematics paper on District [-], Tong Yicheng was also a little skeptical.

But when Tong Yicheng studied Ning Chen's thesis carefully, he gradually realized the subtleties of Ning Chen's research content.

For a genius like Ning Chen, Tong Yicheng admired him from the bottom of his heart, even though Ning Chen was a few years younger than him.

Tong Yicheng's attitude towards Ning Chen was very enthusiastic, which formed a very sharp contrast with the others.

Seeing Tong Yicheng's attitude, other students were very surprised.

"Brother Tong, are you saying that this freshman majoring in materials has already published a paper?" Zhu Yi asked.

Although the official website of Shengzhou University released the news of Ning Chen's paper, it did not attract the attention of undergraduates majoring in mathematics.

After all, they have not yet entered the stage of scientific research, and they are already very proud to be shortlisted for the training of this competition.

"Of course, otherwise, why did Teacher Yang let Ning Chen come to participate in the training? Don't think you are amazing, and you may not be able to compare with others in terms of competition!"

Tong Yicheng's words poured on them like a basin of cold water, which made them lose their temper all of a sudden.

It is indeed ironic that the person they looked down upon before was admired by their senior brother.

"Being able to publish papers doesn't mean that the competition must be great..."

Zhu Yi didn't give in, but his voice was much lower when he said this.

Ning Chen's mood was still very calm, and he was not affected by the outside world.

Ning Chen knows in his heart that competition and scientific research are indeed two different things, and those who can do a good job in scientific research may not be very good at competition.

But Ning Chen believes that he can do a good job in competitions and scientific research at the same time.

In the following time, Tong Yicheng briefly talked about some things about the competition.

Tong Yicheng once participated in high school mathematics competitions in high school, and also participated in competitions such as the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition and the National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Competition in college. He has rich experience in competitions.In the subsequent training, Tong Yicheng will continue to participate in some tutoring work to help everyone improve their ability in mathematics competitions in various subjects.

At 9 o'clock, the teacher in charge of the competition finally came.

This time, a man with glasses and a messy hairstyle came in.

It was Liao Jun, the teacher in charge of training for this competition.

It's just that compared to Tong Yicheng, Liao Jun's baldness is more serious. From Liao Jun's body, Ning Chen seems to see what Tong Yicheng will look like in the future.

"It's a little late for something, Yicheng, you go to work first."

"Okay, Teacher Liao."

Liao Jun didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the point, explaining about Qiu Chengtong's mathematics competition with college students.

Ning Chen had already learned about many things in this before, but Ning Chen still got some new information from it.

"One thing to emphasize is that this Qiucheng Tong College Students Math Competition will answer the questions in English. Therefore, in the training stage, we must learn the relevant English knowledge so that we can read without barriers questions and answer them.”

Hearing Liao Jun's words, the students below couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher, why do you answer the questions in English? Can't you translate the questions?"

"That's right, even IMO doesn't need to answer the questions in English, why do you have to answer in English here? Isn't this competition aimed at students from Huaguo?"

As undergraduate science students, many people's English is not very good, at least not to the level of being able to understand English questions and answer them in English.

Ning Chen didn't care much about such a request. Relying on the professional vocabulary she had learned while writing the thesis, Ning Chen felt that it would not be a big problem for her to answer the questions in English.

"This rule is specifically requested by Professor Qiu Chengtong. Although this is a competition for Chinese college students, many foreign teachers will participate in the marking process. When you go to graduate school, you will be exposed to a lot of literature. They are all in English, and the same goes for writing papers. It will definitely be good for you to learn professional English vocabulary early."

Ning Chen also agreed with Liao Jun's point of view. If you can't master professional English vocabulary, there will indeed be great limitations in the process of learning and research.

Although everyone felt a little dissatisfied with this rule, they could not change the rules after all. Since they chose to participate in the competition training, they could only abide by the requirements of the competition.

"This competition is divided into five individual items, namely analysis and differential equations, probability statistics, geometry and topology, applied and computational mathematics, algebra and number theory. Each of you chooses a single item that you are best at. After the training, Everyone will focus on this individual event, and we will also use training results to determine the final five members to participate in the team competition."

"Because in the team competition, each member can only be responsible for one of the subjects, so only the best person in each subject can be selected as the final team member."

After listening to Liao Jun’s explanation, a classmate raised his hand and asked:
"Teacher Liao, can everyone apply for multiple items at the same time?"

"This is also possible. According to the rules, as long as you want, you can sign up for all five individual events. Of course, I suggest that you should focus on one of the individual events."

Liao Jun knew in his heart that the students at Shengzhou University were not very strong. Being able to learn one subject well was already very good. Taking care of multiple subjects at the same time would only lead to the loss of one.
